How to access the Android Lollipop Easter egg

If you're a Nexus 5 or Nexus 7 owner, then you'll be pleased to know that Google has just updated the Android 5.0 Lollipop preview along with the 5.0 SDK tools. Additionally, AndroidCentral noticed that this update also contains a special surprise from Google: the latest Easter egg.

Head to the Settings menu (the cog in the notification shade at the top) and choose About phone/tablet.

Tap repeatedly on the line that says Android version (with 5.0 underneath).

When the lollipop loads, you can tap it to change colors, or long-press it to reveal the Easter egg: a Flappy Bird clone game, made with a bugdroid and lollipops.

Navigate the bugdroid between the lollipops.

Google has added some excellent Easter eggs over the years, many that make a nod to specific Android versions, pop culture and now game titles. Be warned, though, as this "flappy droid" game is difficult, but still lots of fun and very addictive.
